Five Steps To Creating A Game-Changing Customer Experience

03 July 2014

Today’s empowered customers look for personalised and engaging brand experiences every time, through every channel. When brands don’t deliver this, customers take notice: $83 billion is lost every year in the US due to poor customer experience.*

With the right engagement strategy, organisations can drive customer acquisition, retention and efficiency. In a recent survey by NewVoiceMedia, 72% of overall UK respondents said that a good experience had a considerable influence on their loyalty.*

So how will you deliver an exceptional experience across all points of interaction to customers, stakeholders and employees?

In this live webcast, Brand Republic and IBM reveal 5 steps to deliver personalised, relevant and seamless experiences:

Step 1: Map your current customer journey: identify behaviours and learn how, when and where to connect with your customers

Step 4: From offline to online, C-Suite to shop floor: pinpoint areas of struggle and resolve them

Step 5: Learn how to use technology to optimise the customer journey for the future
